Default Level of difficulty for installing a camber kit???

on a scale of 1 - 10 how hard is it to install a front and rear camber kit on a crx???? I have worked on a lot of **** on my car (engine swap, tranny, clutch) but i have never really messed with suspension stuff. Is it a tough job to do? and about how long would it take???

from the looks of things i think i can do it as long as i dont need any weird tools. looks like a 2-3 hour job

depends on what kind of kit. If you got the skunk 2 one or one similiar to that it'll take a little while longer. If your familiar working on cars i would say 2 hrs counting the time jacking it putting them on, and trying to adjust the camber to the right °. Depending on how slammed you are, you can just shim the back with a couple washers instead of buying a rear kit

I just installed ingalls front and rear kits this weekend, and it will probably take you a couple of hours, but it isnt that difficult to do.
Make sure you have a ratchet, and a set of box wrenches(you need them because there is one bolt on the front camber kit that you cant really reach with anything else). If you are using an ingalls kit with the good rear pieces, then you will need some very large wrenches for adjusting the camber. Plan on taking it to a shop to have it all aligned when you are done.

to me it is about a 1.5
it is very easy to do once you know what has to be done for removal and installation

Ok, if you arent trying to align it or anything it is really easy. It would probably be like a 1.49 for me. take that dirtyd463. own3d.
